i have tire wear on the outside edge of my front tires,, more than should be,
makes me think it's a camber issue,,BUT
i know i have one bracket busted on the passenger side that holds the bar,,,
and i have most likely one failed ball joint on the drivers side,,,
are these two things my problem?
i'm thinking it's a combination of the two,,, but i'm suspicious of another hidden prob i don't know about yet....
thanks for any advice or tips....

Does the tires look staraight up and down or leaning out or in?
Tire wear can be a bad alignment or toe in or tires not inflated right or worn or bad parts.
Leaning in is a good sign of lose or bad front end stuff.
Also check upper and lower control arm and a frame bushings.

Check for and replace all worn and lose parts and send it to a good front end alignment shop.

If you are not sure about what all is lose or worn out most front end places will check it out for you and tell you what you need before a alignment.
